Colgate-Palmolive has awarded a Starlight Fun Center™ to Charlotte’s Levine Children’s Hospital as part of its annual “Show the Love” online challenge – an interactive campaign that engages the public in awarding Starlight Fun Centers™ to children’s hospitals throughout the country.

Starlight Fun Center™ mobile entertainment units feature a Sharp AQUOS™ LCD TV, DVD player and Nintendo Wii™ gaming system to provide hours of fun and distraction to pediatric patients and their families. For children who may be facing surgery, enduring long outpatient treatments or fighting loneliness after hospital visiting hours have ended, Starlight Fun Centers™ provide a comforting break.

In celebration of its 20 year partnership with Starlight Children’s Foundation, Colgate expanded this year’s “Show the Love” online challenge. In addition to awarding one Starlight Fun Center™ to each of the 20 participating hospitals, Colgate will be donating one Starlight Fun Center™ every day throughout the month of February.
